What made me happy today?

[ps102]

The not happy news: I'm not as good at CAD as I thought. The printing company has kicked it back twice with issues. Sigh.

Don't be discouraged. It's part of the learning process.

I made some PCBs this summer with KiCAD for the first time. The fab house sent the designs back to me with issues. But even when I successfully got them through, I found some mistakes once I received them, so I had to correct them and order again. They turned out fine in the second iteration.

You are unhappy now but you'll be happier later!

I was helping someone pull their cart of groceries over an icy curb after shopping and they gifted me a free tub of yogurt.

Didn't read that properly. I thought you wrote that you were HOPING someone would give you a free tub of yogurt.

Tsk. The cads.

Time with a friend today, and starting to feel a little better after being really sick since Friday (5 days tiday)

Cheese it, the cads!

Tonight another box of Puffs was mauled by the Bernese Mountain Cur puppy. My husband said there was considerable tissue damage and he had to put the box down.

Just when I think I've found a place within my reach but out of the dog's...

Someone in another thread mentioned copulating cousins, so naturally my mind went to Shelbyville.

I rewatched the clip where the founders' division occurs at the point of being able to marry cousins. Great scene, but best of all I was reminded that the last name of Shelbyville's eponymous founder was, in full, "Shelbyville." It's a microscopic joke but I am figuratively dying right now.

So now I'm going to be laughing all along my walk to work today.

Correction: it was his first name. His full name was Shelbyville Manhattan.

I still go through the Simpsons Golden Age on D+ at least once a year. Best TV comedy writing ever.

What made me happy today was noticing that my old bag of bones has clearly been putting on a little weight, which isn't easy to do at 20+ years of age and with mild kidney issues. Also, I have engaged in low-impact exercise three days in a row now.

Stole my son's login and password to HBO Max, lol.

Shhh, don't judge me, lol.

Yummy! What flavor?

This morning I got a walk in the sunshine still cold, but not too cold.

Made a gallon of homemade full-fat greek yogurt today. It turned out splendidly!

I've started reading again these past few days. Only a few pages in a book at a time, but it's a start. I missed it.

Books take you places inside your mind that no other format can, in my opinion.

I tried out Draft2Digital for the first time today, and it turned out to be incredibly easy to work with. I’d set aside all week to work towards the wide launch of three novelettes I reprinted last year, but there’s a good chance I’ll be done tomorrow!

So I’m happy for all the extra time, even if I’m not sure how to use it yet

Watcha readin'?

... I am starting to believe I am actually good at German. Reading it, anyway.

 

[Louanne Learning]

Wrote two stories in the last week!

Watcha readin'?

If I keep mentioning this book over the years, someone might shake their head so hard it will twist out of their neck. Hyperion by Dan Simmons. Been reading and posting that I've been reading it for years now. The slow pace is not due to the book, but due to some health conditions on my part.

The book is excellent and very interesting, but I'm looking forward to its conclusion now. I've heard it's the first book in a series, and depending on how it ends I might continue the series. However, I'm really looking forward to a change of scenery and subject, so I might get on to another on my reading list.
